Henry Taylor did just as he was told : ” To finish the race in one piece, even if you are last.” In actual fact he would not have been so far behind if he had been able to use all the gears in the gearbox, but maladjustment of the interconnecting mechanism between clutch pedal and gear-selectors prevented him using top gear.
